Noble Kaguya From Japanese old fairy tale "Bamboo-cutter Story"
She tells the old foster-parents who found her in a bamboo thicket and have brought her up with lots of love:
"I am not a common human being in this world. I am a Moonian. I came down from the Moon as I was destined to. And now it's time for me to return home. My compatriots are coming for me on the night of next Full Moon. I must go with them. I've been in sorrow since last spring to think that you will grieve over my leaving."
